Responsive form input

I have a web page set at a certain restraint for responsive viewing based on screen width. Though, I'm running into an issue where I have a form input set a width of width:100% and padding-left:20px. The result displays the input field width scaling beyond the width of the body of the webpage by 20px because of the padding.

enter image description here

Input code: 

.field {
    outline:0;
    width:100%;
    height:50px;
    padding-left:10px;
    float:left;
    border: 1px solid #d3d4d5;
    border-right-color: #c2c7ca;
    border-left-color:#c2c7ca;
    color:#3a444f;
    -webkit-border-radius: 2px;
    -moz-border-radius: 2px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 0;
    -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
    font-size:16px;
}

How can I get that extra space at the end of the input field to restrain to the proper width?

You don't need to add any extra space. You can simply use:

input {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    width: 100%;
}

With the border-box option the width setting includes padding and border.
